Now since I have found such a Champion as Dr Whitaker for the maintenance of this Tenet, have I cause to fear the sharp censures of any professors in the Country? Were he alive, I presume he would be nothing scared with the imputation of making God, the Prime and Principal cause of mens everlasting ruin; he would I think require a little more learning in the Criminator, then to express himself so crudely. For without all question, God is the prime and principal cause, nay the sole cause of mans everlasting ruin in genere causae efficient is, though this excludes not a meritorious cause of his own damnation on the creatures part, as Dr Whitaker professeth in the words formerly alleging, acknowledged, Damnationem infligi propter Peccatum.
